Say anything: Outgoing senators give the inside scoop

Longtime State Senate leaders Lisa Brown (D-Spokane) and Joe Zarelli (R-Ridgefield) are retiring this year.

Join us as they discuss the challenges facing Washington, including the budget shortfall, school funding, skyrocketing tuition, health care and more.

Zarelli and Brown will candidly address the choices elected leaders face on these issues, and the players – big and small – who hold sway over the process. The forum will include time for audience Q&A.

Thursday, September 13th
Town Hall Seattle
7:00 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.)

Moderated by Ross Reynolds, host of The Conversation on KUOW 94.9 FM. Presented by the Economic Opportunity Institute.  For sponsorship opportunities, contact EOI Development Director Kathleen Barry.
